With the team’s stellar season, head coach Aaran Lines was named FieldTurf Coach of the Year . 2011 After its first title a year before, the Flash joined Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) as an expansion team . With the league change, the team became the Western New York Flash and moved its home pitch to Rochester, NY at the newly named Sahlen’s Stadium . With its first pick in the 2011 WPS Draft, the Flash selected Alex Morgan and later signed 2010 WPS MVP and WPS Golden Boot winner Marta and Canadian star Christine Sinclair . After finishing the year 13-2-3, the Flash won the regular season title and hosted the 2011 WPS Championship . The Flash became back-to-back champions in that game, defeating the Philadelphia Indepen- dence in penalty kicks in front of a WPS record 10,461 fans . Marta won the Golden Boot as the league’s top scorer, while Ashlyn Harris was named US Coast Guard Goalkeeper of the Year and Whitney Engen was honored as the WPS Defender of the Year . Lines earned his second-consecutive FieldTurf Coach of the Year honor and the 2011 Flash squad was named FieldTurf WPS Team of the Year . 2012 After the WPS suspended operations, the Flash joined the WPSL-Elite in 2012 and continued its winning ways . The team won its third league title (all in different leagues) with another penalty kick decision . After finishing the regular season 9-3-2, the Flash earned the second seed in the WPSL-E playoffs and went on to defeat the New York Fury 1-1 (4-2 PKs) . In November of 2012, the Western New York Flash was selected as one of eight clubs for the then-unnamed women’s professional soccer league . That league would become the National Women’s Soccer League, otherwise known as the NWSL . 4 ABOUT | WNY FLASH HISTORY 2013 In the team’s first season in the NWSL, the Flash claimed the Regular Season Championship and landed the Number 1 seed head- ing into the playoffs . After beating No . 4 Sky Blue FC 2-0 in the semifinals, the Flash hosted No . 3 Portland Thorns FC at Sahlen’s Stadium for the league title on August 31, 2013 . In that game, in front of a season-high 9,129 fans, the Flash finished as runner-up after falling 2-0 to the Thorns . The Flash, who did not reach the top of the table until the final day of the regular season, were undefeated at home for 11-straight games . The club was only defeated in its home opener on April 27 and did not fall again until the NWSL Championship on August 31 . As a club, the Flash set numerous league records, ranking atop the NWSL in goals scored (36), goals conceded (30) and goals against average ( .909) . Forward Abby Wambach and defender Brittany Taylor were honored on the NWSL Best XI, while goalkeeper Adrianna Franch earned Second XI commendations . 2014 In its second season in the NWSL, the Flash failed to reach the playoffs for just the second time in franchise history . Despite a sev- enth place finish, the team had many high points, including a 5-0 shutout of Portland Thorns FC on June 7 . At the time, it was the largest margin of defeat in NWSL history and also set the league record for largest win margin by a road team . Midfielder Carli Lloyd was named to the Second XI after posting eight goals and five assists . 2015 The Flash went 6-9-5 in its third NWSL season finishing in seventh . Midfielder Sam Mewis was nominated for the 2015 NWSL Rookie of the Year award after tallying 4 goals and 4 assists for the club . 5 ABOUT | TRAINING INFORMATION SAHLEN SPORTS PARK Sahlen Sports Park, located in Elma, NY, just 15 minutes outside of Buffalo, is the official training home of the 2013 NWSL Shield-winning WNY Flash .

  • What Employers Should Consider About the Women Soccer Players' Wage Discrimination Claim
    04.07.16 What Employers Should Consider about the Women Soccer Players' Wage Discrimination Claim What would you say if you were paid less money for winning than someone else was paid just for showing up? Is that wage discrimination? Yes it is, according to the stars of U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. Last week, five stars of World Cup Champion women's team filed a wage discrimination claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against U.S. Soccer. Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd, Becky Sauerbrunn, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe claim that despite winning more, they are paid less than the men. According to the complaint: − The women's yearly salary is $72,000, compared to the men's yearly salary of $100,000 − The women are paid less for winning exhibition games than men get for simply showing up. The base pay for women to play in exhibition games is $3,600 and they get a bonus of $1,350 if they win; compared to the men who get paid a base of $5,000, with a bonus of $8,166 if they win; − The women receive a lower per diem rate for daily travel expenses. The women receive $50 per day for domestic travel and $60 per day for international travel, whereas the men receive $62.50 and $75.00 respectively; and − "The pay structure for advancement through the rounds of World Cup was so skewed that, in 2015, the men earned $9 million for losing in the round of 16, while the women earned only $2 million for winning the entire tournament.
